And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

Und der Zöllner stand von ferne, wollte auch seine Augen nicht aufheben gen Himmel, sondern schlug an seine Brust und sprach: Gott, sei mir Sünder gnädig!
Mas el publicano estando lejos no quería ni aun alzar los ojos al cielo, sino que hería su pecho, diciendo: Dios, sé propició a mí pecador.
Pero el cobrador de impuestos, de pie a cierta distancia, ni siquiera quería levantar los ojos al cielo, sino que se golpeaba el pecho y decía: “¡Dios, ten misericordia de mí, pecador!”.
Le publicain, se tenant à distance, n'osait même pas lever les yeux au ciel; mais il se frappait la poitrine, en disant: O Dieu, sois apaisé envers moi, qui suis un pécheur.
Ma il pubblicano, stando da lungi, non ardiva neppure d’alzar gli occhi al cielo; anzi si batteva il petto, dicendo: O Dio, sii placato inverso me peccatore.
O publicano, porém, estando em pé, de longe, nem ainda queria levantar os olhos ao céu, mas batia no peito, dizendo: Ó Deus, tem misericórdia de mim, pecador!
那稅吏遠遠地站著,連舉目望天也不敢,只捶著胸,說:『上帝啊,開恩可憐我這個罪人!』
